title: Re-TEVAR for complications after blunt aortic traumatic injury stenting.
abstract: We report an endovascular approach that was used to treat two patients with previous thoracic aortic repair or endovascular repair (TEVAR) for blunt thoracic aortic injury. The first patient was a 38-year-old man who presented with distal intragraft thrombosis 24 months after TEVAR. The second patient, a 32-year-old man, developed a symptomatic distal device collapse at 39th month follow-up, associated with buttock claudication. Both patients were offered an endograft relining, complicated in the first case by distal embolization.
